I wish Donald Glover would speak out about this.

Totally absurd.

2nd best. We all know what's the best. Remedial Chaos Theory.

99% of what people claiming is “blackface” is not actual blackface. Blackface requires more than just wearing makeup, but people have warped the definition because of outrage / PC culture.

Damn. I watched that a couple weeks ago. Hope they don't remove any more during my rewatch.

Shouldn't they remove basically the whole character of Pierce then?

I guess they haven’t watched the rest of community?

Half of Chevy Chase’s lines are racist jokes

I'd say more than half.

Also how meta is it that they pulled an episode for a Asian character painting himself as a dark elf for a fantasy game but left in an entire character that for 4 straight seasons, his entire script is telling as many racist and homophobic jokes as possible?

Seems like you could just cut the scene with them showing him as the elf without much issue

This episode comes up again multiple times during the rest of the show so it would be weird watching it without that in the episode order

Good, I love that episode but keep canceling stuff, inflict as much harm on as many people as possible I say.

Literally every African-American cosplayer I have seen that has been asked this question says it's stupid - they don't mind people doing dark elf makeup. It's not blackface and they say people who equate it as such are idiots.


How many African American cosplayers do you know?

I follow a lot of them. I've gotten to know a few at conventions, including a couple I've stayed in touch with.

There are a lot more than people think.

Blackface isn't just putting on black make-up.

It's early 20th century stereotypical racist impersonations of a black person.

Unless he was acting like Buckwheat and wanted to shine everyone's shoes while singing old slave songs then it's just an actor playing a dark Elf.

Netflix is being ridiculous out of fear.
